As much as this bums me out...

I am taking a several years long break from photography. I have been accepted into a graduate program, and given my relative newness to Missouri, and the demanding nature of my academic pursuits, I have decided that the best things I can do is focus my energy on finishing my degree and getting back into the swing of things when I've completed my program. Does this bum me out? Absolutely. But I would be doing my clients a disservice if I couldn't give %110 to their shoots because my brain is deep in some academic cloud, so this feels like the most logical choice.
